Children With Hearing Loss

The critical need to identify children with hearing loss and provide treatment at the earliest possible age has become increasingly apparent in recent years (Northern & Downs, 1978). Reduction of the auditory signal during the critical language-learning period can severely limit the child's potential for developing a complete, effective communication system. Identification and treatment of children having handicapping conditions at an early age has gained impetus through the Handicapped Children's Early Education Program (HCEEP) projects funded by the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped (BEH).

In Reply.— We were most interested in Gallaher and Maisels' comments on our paper. Although they mention that sensorineural deafness is an unusual event in their experience, they do not provide us with an incidence and also do not mention their method for testing hearing. Most of our infants, were classified as high risk because they required ventilation for hyaline membrane disease. The ten deaf infants who were high risk and their ten matched controls were all ventilated.

Lost To Follow Up

Numerous techniques have been used in attempts to find a reliable and efficient screening method for determining auditory function in the newborn. The brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) is the latest method advocated for that purpose. The BAEP was evaluated as a hearing screening test in 168 high-risk newborns between 35 and 45 weeks of conceptual age. Follow-up data were obtained after 1 year (mean 17.3 months) on 134 of the infants (80%). Normal hearing was defined as a reproducible response in both ears to a 25 dB normal hearing level (nHL) click stimulus; 21 infants (12.5%) failed the initial screening test. Follow-up on 19/21 infants revealed 18 infants with normal hearing and one infant with an 80 dB nHL bilateral hearing loss substantiated. One infant with an abnormal screening test died before retesting, and the other infant was lost to follow-up but had only a unilaterally abnormal BAEP. None of the infants with a normal BAEP screening study had evidence of hearing loss on retesting. Sensitivity of the BAEP was 100%, specificity was 86%, predictive value of a positive test was 5.26%, and the predictive value of a negative test was 100%. The incidence of significant hearing loss in our population was between 0.75% (1/134 infants) confirmed, and 2.24% (3/134 infants) including infants who failed screening but were lost to follow-up. The BAEP is a sensitive procedure for the early identification of hearing-impaired newborns. However, the yield of significant hearing abnormalities was less than predicted in other studies using BAEP for newborn hearing screening.

Motivation To Work

Aerobics becomes an at-risk activity for noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) when high intensity music is played in its classes. Attempts to reduce this risk through hearing conservation have generally failed, possibly because participants find the high intensity music enjoyable and motivating, and therefore not "too loud". To investigate this further, the median noise (music) intensities in four high impact aerobics classes were fixed at 80, 85, 89 and 97 dB(A), rated as very low, low, at and high-risk for temporary threshold shift (TIS) and NIHL respectively, and participant (n=236) responses were measured via a post-class questionnaire. The results showed noise (music) intensity was related to perceived music loudness, enjoyment and motivation to work (p<0.001). Also, perceived music loudness, enjoyment and motivation to work were related to each other (p<0.001), but not to previous knowledge that exposure to loud sounds can permanently damage hearing (p>0.05). These results, and their implications on hearing conservation in aerobics, were discussed.
